Reese’s Pieces Cupcakes

Whenever I was at the grocery store this last summer, I would buy Reese’s Pieces. Whenever I saw them, they would just magically appear in my hand or in my cart.

The funny thing? I don’t even really like them.

But my best friend of the time really loved them. And I didn’t get to see him nearly all summer, so buying those silly Reece’s Pieces just made me feel like I wasn’t so far away from him.

I wasn’t about to eat the Reese’s Pieces all alone—now that would be pathetic. So instead of eating them, I just let the bags pile up on a table. Once the pile reached a height I could decently measure with a ruler, I decided it was time to make good use of the candies.

I made these for my husband’s birthday party as well as some chocolate ones and the frosting on these tastes a lot like the peanut butter balls I’ve had at Christmas which is great for my hubby because he doesn’t like frosting. I used crumbled peanut butter cups on top and they look yummy! Thanks:)

Oh and sorry one more question, do you like this frosting or the frosting you make for the M&M cupcakes with peanut butter frosting better? I wondered if the one for the M&M cupcakes would hold better? I like the look of those ones best although these look heavenly too and I want to do chocolate cake for sure!
